Dompy Syrup 30 ml
About Dompy Syrup 30 ml
Dompy Syrup 30 ml belongs to a class of medications known as 'dopamine antagonist' used to treat nausea (feeling sick) and vomit (being sick) in adults and adolescents 12 years or older. Besides this, it also helps in the treatment of indigestion. Nausea and vomiting are not diseases but are symptoms of many conditions like infections, motion sickness, an early stage of pregnancy, and gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying).
Dompy Syrup 30 ml contains domperidone, which prevents nausea and vomiting symptoms by blocking certain receptors (like dopamine and serotonin) that stimulate the vomiting centre (chemoreceptor trigger zone – CTZ) located in the brain. It also acts as a prokinetic agent that increases the upper gastrointestinal tract's motility and helps decrease stomach emptying time.
Take Dompy Syrup 30 ml as prescribed by your doctor. Symptoms of nausea and vomiting may usually resolve within 3-4 days after taking Dompy Syrup 30 ml. However, if it does not resolve even after this, stop taking this medicine and contact the doctor. Do not take Dompy Syrup 30 ml for longer than seven days. The most common side effect of Dompy Syrup 30 ml is dry mouth. This side effect is temporary and may resolve after some time; however, if this side persists, contact the doctor.
Do not consume Dompy Syrup 30 ml if you are hypersensitive to any components present in Dompy Syrup 30 ml. Before taking the Dompy Syrup 30 ml, inform your doctor if you suffer from liver or kidney problems. Prolonged intake of Dompy Syrup 30 ml may be associated with an increased risk of heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia) and cardiac arrest (heart attack). This risk may be more likely in the elderly (those over 60 years old) or taking doses higher than 30 mg daily. Dompy Syrup 30 ml is not usually recommended in pregnancy and breastfeeding. But in some cases, domperidone is used to increase milk supply. However, it should be used only during breastfeeding if your physician considers this necessary. Ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine. Adolescents (children from 12-18 years of age) who weigh less than 35 kg should not be given the Dompy Syrup 30 ml.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Nausea is a feeling of stomach uneasiness that often comes before vomiting. On the other hand, vomiting is the forcible voluntary or involuntary emptying of stomach contents through the mouth. In short, nausea and vomiting are not diseases but are symptoms of many conditions like infections, motion sickness, an early stage of pregnancy, and gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying). A receptor in our brain known as the chemoreceptor zone (CTZ) controls vomiting.
